was trying to make a good 鸡汤面 but failed at it badly Drumstick does not yield high broth content and basically it tastes like water :/
UGH!! I'll be sure to go after the back and neck next time for a good broth. It's just I'm abit sick and wanted something soothing, i'd better buy them next time haha...
i'll post pictures when I have it right, but this is what I had in mind:
how interesting! they kept the liver, i wonder how it tastes...
Incidentally, I'm planning to open youtube videos on how to make easy-food for us college kids, most of those will be chinese since that's my background, anyone interested? (I won't have time till next semester thou)
Poll: interested in easy food youtube in future? (Vote): fuck yeah! (Vote): hell no!

real man make their own broth!
Was that suppose to be sexual? LOL
Looks so much better then my chicken noddle soup.
It could be culinary... Chicken broth is better when extracted/made from a full chicken. Chicken noodle is one of the best soups for completely dismantling a whole chicken, and virtually using everything.

It's just chicken (all i have is drumstick) toss in salt water, boil for 1 hour grind in crapload of pepper (i love them) toss in some noodle boil till noodle is cooked add green onion
done.
ha so you'd think it's complicated but NO!! :D
I'm making another one at the moment, i'll try to sautee it first in bit oil and bay-leaf for a better tasting soup. I'll keep you updated.
Okay it's done, i let the broth sit over night cuz it was too late yesterday to finish... Anyways this one looks alot richer(it's actually bit subtle but if you notice the soup color, this one is more white)!!!

Is it chicken in the bowl there? I personally prefer to add some vegetables to the broth.
haha yeah i'm trying to clean up my fridge before the break so there's no vegetables unfortunately. I don't want to add stuff to fridge anymore. btw this batch is TOO thick lol, it covered with oil and I actually can't drink the soup. I think I overdid the richness part lol...
My parents (we are Chinese too) always make their own broth, and they always use a whole chicken. I am not certain which part of the chicken yields the most flavour, but I'd assume it comes from the bones. You can probably make a large pot of broth and store it somewhere.

I hope you feel better soon sir.
excuse me that is no ramen. That's real noodle with real flavoring made by myself. No ramen was used in the process ever.
heh, I just looked at wiki and apparently ramen =/= instant noodle. So I guess then yes, I made ramen, but not the instant kind. It's understandable if you don't go crazy for it though, I never liked much of the western dishes myself.

it's the 鸡架， which is the frame (aka left over bones) of the chicken. Most of the times those get turned into broth. I could've gone for some bones but as I'm only trying to clean out my fridge I only gots drumsticks with thighs
Using a whole chicken or chicken carcass with a little lean pork shoulder(Chewy but not too dry, gives a nice bite). Add in green onions, ginger, carrots, sesame oil, rice wine, pepper and salt to taste.
I had it before with nothing but dark meat. The drumsticks and thighs become extremely tender, I dip it with some sweet chili sauce, delicious. Though my grandma makes so many different variations, using winter melons or medicinal herbs like ginger root and azuki beans(Good for blood flow, I think). I do prefer the more simple variation of Chinese chicken broth.
